Question

Find the slope (0,2) (-1,1)

Answer 1

To find the slope of the line given two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\), you can use the slope formula:

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

In this case, the points are \((0, 2)\) and \((-1, 1)\). Assigning the values:

- \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 2)\)
- \((x_2, y_2) = (-1, 1)\)

Now, substitute these values into the slope formula:

\[
m = \frac{1 - 2}{-1 - 0} = \frac{-1}{-1} = 1
\]

Thus, the slope of the line is \(m = 1\).
